Tempo Run - 9 miles

Another scheduled tempo run. The schedule goal was 10k pace + 40 seconds, or 8:47/mi for me. I didn't come close. I think at this point, I can't worry about pace anymore and should just work on getting in my miles and improving as much as I can. I still have 6 1/2 weeks until The Ave, and that's what training is for, right?

Anyway, it was also quite warm. I wanted to go out around 10:30, but wasn't able to get out until almost noon. By the time I was done, it was almost 70 degrees! I'm just not acclimated to the warmer weather yet, my forehead was sweating like crazy, sweat getting into my eyes. Still, it was a beautiful day.

19:21 RIP Natasha Richardson. Skiing is not inherently dangerous tho, and it sure beats dying on the couch with a bowl of chips on your gut! #

Shamrock'n Half Pictures

The photographers finally posted some of the pictures from the Shamrock'n Half!

I also finally figured out why there was such a time discrepency between chip time & gun time. They didn't have three guns for the different starting times (<9:10/mi, >9:10/mi, & relay). They only had the one gun, which went off for the first group. Our group started 10 minutes later, and even with that, it was a minute or two before I actually crossed the starting line.

Speaking of starting lines, I'm not in this picture. :)


I expected them to have photographers throughout the route, but I guess it was just easier to have a couple stationed at the finish line.


And look, I now have more pictures of me looking like I'm about to die! I'm not sure which is worse in this one, the look on my face, or the look on the woman's face behind me in comparison to the look on my face!


At least I had fun, and wasn't looking down at my watch in the finish photo like the guy behind me. Heck, you can't even see his number.


The rest of the images can be found on my Flickr stream.
